Muslims break their fast with a meal called iftar, and many mosques offer free meals to the public during this time.

Reciting the Quran involves reading the holy book aloud in a clear and melodic voice, commonly referred to as “Tajweed.” The beauty of reciting the Quran lies in the fact that it is done with sincerity, devotion, and understanding. Muslims believe that reciting the Quran rewards them with spiritual benefits, including inner peace, strengthening of their relationship with Allah, and gaining a deeper understanding of Islam. Recitation of the Quran is typically done during daily prayers, during Ramadan, and on other special occasions. Many Muslims also make it a daily habit to recite a portion of the Quran to maintain their connection with Allah.

The event is a symbol of resistance against oppression and a celebration of the values of sacrifice and selflessness exemplified by Imam Hussein. Arbaeen has gained global attention in recent years due to its magnitude and the peaceful nature of the gathering, despite ongoing conflicts in the region.

This Father’s Day, let’s take a moment to honor all fathers and the legacy of Imam Ali (AS), by being the best parents we can be, instilling love, kindness, and strong ethics in our children. By following his footsteps, we can create a better tomorrow for us and our children.

Let us take some time to reflect on their sacrifices and love, show them the appreciation, gratitude, and love that they deserve not only today but every day. Within the teachings of Bibi Fatima, we are reminded of the importance of kindness, compassion, and cherishing our mothers and mother figures every day, not just on Mother’s Day. So today, we wish every mother and mother figure a very Happy Mother’s Day!

The festival is usually observed with praying, charity, visiting family and friends, and enjoying delicious food. It is a time to express gratitude to Allah for the spiritual strength gained during the month of Ramadan, and to seek forgiveness for past sins. Eid Al-Fitr is a time of joy, happiness and community, where people wear their best clothes, decorate their homes and streets, and exchange gifts.

Eid Adha

Eid Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the two major Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide. It is observed on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah- the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar. The holiday honors the story of Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son, as an act of obedience, to Allah. However, Allah intervened and provided a ram for the sacrifice, instead. Muslims across the globe commemorate this event by performing the ritual of sacrificing an animal, most commonly a sheep, goat, or cow. The meat is then divided into three parts, with one part being shared with the poor.

In addition to the sacrifice, Eid Adha is also a time for family gatherings, exchanging gifts, and attending prayers at the mosque. It is a time for forgiveness, reflection, and gratitude, as well as a reminder to prioritize charitable deeds and acts of kindness towards others. Eid Adha is a joyous occasion that brings Muslims together to celebrate their faith.

Eid Al-Ghadir

On this day, Shia Muslims gather in mosques and homes to offer special prayers and to listen to speeches about the importance of this event. They also exchange greetings and gifts with each other.

Eid Al-Ghadir holds great importance in Shia Islam as it establishes the authority of the Imams, who are considered to be the rightful leaders of the Muslim community after Prophet Muhammad. It is a day of celebration, reflection and renewal of faith for Shia Muslims around the world.

Muharram

Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar, and it is considered a sacred and significant time for Muslims around the world.

This event is remembered through mourning ceremonies, processions, and special prayers, particularly among Shia Muslims. During Muharram, Muslims also reflect on the themes of sacrifice, justice, and resilience, as exemplified by Imam Hussain’s martyrdom. It is a time for introspection and spiritual renewal, as well as for community gatherings and acts of charity. The observance of Muharram varies depending on cultural and religious traditions, but it remains an important part of Islamic practice and heritage.
